As a child, I used to take home sick birds so I could cure them. Also as a child, sometimes I read and heard about animal abuse. I promised myself that when I was old enough I would do what I could to protect animals and improve the way they are treated.

"Negative peace, when there’s peace in an area but there is injustice in that area too", explains vegan activist David Ramsden while talking about why they walked into a Burger King and show what happens to animals.

Leather used for fashion unfortunately is not very natural and far from being a by-product of the food industry. Toxic chemicals such as zinc, lead, dyes, cyanide and formaldehyde are used to treat it which makes it decompose very slowly which is bad for the environment.

I used to love big brands like Chanel, Dior and Shiseido. But I don't anymore. I find it hard to accept that they want to make us prettier by harming animals. So I'm looking for new brands. Brands that don't feel the need to harm bunnies and other animals.

About Nanu Mishi.

Hi, my name is Prya. I became vegan about a year ago. It started with food but pretty quickly I wanted to use only cruelty free beauty and fashion products. But that was a bit more challenging.

Things like finding a new perfume (most famous perfumes are tested on animals) or a warm sweater without wool were, and still are, not easy. But the more I started searching I found some great brands that believe cruelty free is the way to go.

Here you find stories about the people behind cruelty free brands and organizations.
